# Gaps in Consumer Perception of Food Safety in Cambodia

## Summary
This study describes a tool used to measure perceptions of Cambodians involved with informal vegetable markets regarding their capabilities, opportunities, and motivations to implement food safety practices. The quantitative tool could also be used to assess capability, opportunity, and motivation to adopt a behavior in a wide range of development contexts. To these ends, a questionnaire assessing these perceptions was developed using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behavior (COM-B) model of behavior and the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).

The complete methods and results are published as [Describing capability, opportunity, and motivation for food safety practices among actors in the Cambodian informal vegetable market](https://doi.org/10.3389/fsufs.2023.1060876)
